Shanghai-style Sheng Jian Mantou

Shanghai-style Sheng Jian Mantou is a type of Chinese steamed bread that is stuffed with flavorful meat and pan-fried until crispy on the bottom. The filling typically consists of ground pork or beef, seasoned with spices and aromatics such as ginger, garlic, and green onions. The bread dough is made with a combination of wheat flour, yeast, and water, and is allowed to rise before being formed into small buns. The buns are then filled with the meat mixture, pinched shut, and pan-fried until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Sheng Jian Mantou is often served with soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame seeds, and makes for a delicious and satisfying snack or meal.
